Everyone knows that when I've got something on my chest only the removal of my tonsils could stop me saying it. Right now the niggling annoyance of the day/week/year for me is the constant abuse of the CHURCH.

'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believer in him should not perish but have everlasting life'

Now if you are not signed up with SKY TV don't expect to turn on your television and receive UK Living, SKY One or SKY Sports. You see the deal is - you sign up for a minimum of 12 months, pay a monthly subscription fee and you will receive and have access to an immense array of channels from all over the world on just about every topic there is.

The Gospel (the good news) on the other hand is FREE, no monthly subscription fee needed! It just takes an open heart to be able look at yourself and accept that you are CREATED therefore you must have a CREATOR. We Christians believe in the bible that says we are all born in sin and to be cleansed of this sin you have to accept Christ (accept that he is the Son of God and did in fact die for your sins. Now I was not brain washed into this way of thinking, I had a personal experience that was not induced by drugs or the euphoric high I get every time I pick up a glossy magazine. It was real and 4 years on is still relevant and keeping me.


We humans like to intellectualise EVERYTHING...Hence the reason the 'Darwin theory' sits so neatly with so many. I have a question though...when you fell in love with your partner/husband/wife/fiance...wasn't it just a FEELING, a SURE CONVICTION that at times could not be put into words or intellectualised. EXACTLY! Just what I thought. Its the same with Jesus.

What is puzzling me is the fact that whether people like to admit it or not they KNOW the realness and importance of God in their lives that's why when you get married you book the church, a loved one needs to be buried, you book the church, you want to get your kids into a good school all of a sudden you start attending a church so it looks good on the application, you want to live in the UK, a recommendation from the church always goes down well.

Now don't get me wrong, anytime someone comes to church its a good thing because they wil be exposed to the WORD and that is always positive exposure, my thing is when you get the serial user's that feel no way in taking, taking and taking some more. They take advantage of the 'welcome sign' on the front door and abuse the love. Look at the relationships you have with friends and lovers wouldn't it be destructive if it was all take and no give? Its the same with Jesus.


For the record the church will not and should not turn any one away because deep down there is the hope that the hearts of the lost will be convicted, saved and set free.

Just remember God is real, he's keeping you right now...'borrowing' his favour as and when you require it will catch up with you...pay as you go has one loser...YOU.
